A

`beta_(G) gt beta_(B) gt beta_(R)`

B

`beta_(B) gt beta_(G) gt beta_(R)`

C

`beta_(R) gt beta_(B) gt beta_(G)`

D

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the fringe widths in Young's double slit experiment using different colors of light (green, red, and blue), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Fringe Width Formula**: The fringe width (β) in Young's double slit experiment is given by the formula: \[ \beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d} \] where: - \( \beta \) = fringe width - \( \lambda \) = wavelength of the light used - \( D \) = distance from the slits to the screen - \( d \) = distance between the slits 2. **Identifying Constants**: In this experiment, \( D \) and \( d \) are constants for a given setup. Therefore, the fringe width is directly proportional to the wavelength (\( \lambda \)): \[ \beta \propto \lambda \] 3. **Comparing Wavelengths**: The wavelengths of the colors in the visible spectrum are approximately: - Red light (\( \lambda_R \)) has the longest wavelength. - Green light (\( \lambda_G \)) has a medium wavelength. - Blue light (\( \lambda_B \)) has the shortest wavelength. Thus, we can establish the order of wavelengths: \[ \lambda_R > \lambda_G > \lambda_B \] 4. **Relating Fringe Widths**: Since fringe width is directly proportional to wavelength, we can write: \[ b_R > b_G > b_B \] This means: - The fringe width for red light (\( b_R \)) is the largest. - The fringe width for green light (\( b_G \)) is in the middle. - The fringe width for blue light (\( b_B \)) is the smallest. 5. **Final Relationship**: Therefore, the relationship between the fringe widths is: \[ b_R > b_G > b_B \]
